Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)

Operator, oh could you help me place this call
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's livin' in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
But that's not the way it feels

Operator, oh could you help me place this call
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eye's
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me

Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

Operato,r oh let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk you
Thank you for your time
Oh you've been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime

Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Operator, operator, operator, operator
Operator, the lines are down, are down
And I'm a traitor, traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planning, too many flaws

How long will it take to get used to me
How long will it take to get used to me

Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Don't wait that long

Oh yes I love you
But today I could hate you, I could hurt you
Because we're joined at the heart
Beats faster, hits harder than a boxer
When we are apart
Body language is an SOS
I don't understand how a fight starts
Not enough to believe in love
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where we've gone wrong

How long will it take to get used to me
How long will it take to get used to me

Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
No we won't wait that long
Don't wait that long

Operator, the lines are down
And I'm a traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planning, too many flaws
I've got too many flaws
Too many flaws

Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
No we won't wait that long
Don't wait that long

Operator


Operator, can you help me, help me if you please.
Give me the right area code and the number that I need.
My rider left upon the Midnight Flyer,
Singin' like a summer breeze.

I think she's somewhere down South, down about Baton Rouge,
But I just can't remember no number, a number I can use.
Directory don't have it, central done forgot it,
I've gotta find a number to use.

Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line.
Operator said that's priv'ledged information,
And it ain't no business of mine.
It's floodin' down in Texas, poles are out in Utah,
Gotta find a private line.

She could be hangin' 'round the steel mill,
Working in a house of blue lights.
Riding a getaway bus out of Portland, talking to the night.
I don't know where she's going, I don't care where she's been,
Long as she's doin' it right. Long as she's doin' it right.

Operator's Manual


Operator's manual
Tells me what to do
When emotions blow a fuse
Indicating blue

Operator's manual
Tells me what to find
And how to make adjustments when
You tamper with my mind

Oh operator's manual
I'd just fall apart without you
If only I had a mechanic
Then somehow I know I'd pull through

Operator's manual
On page sixty-three
Tells me what to do when you
Do these things to me

Oh operator's manual
I'd just fall apart without you
If only I had a mechanic
Then somehow I know I'd pull through

Operator's manual
Tells me what to do
When emotions blow a fuse
And I'm feeling blue

Operator's manual
On page sixty-three
Tells me what to do when you
Do these things to me

Oh operator's manual
I'd just fall apart without you
If only I had a mechanic
Then somehow I know I'd pull through





God Bless America!

Mr. Telephone Man
There’s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby’s number
I get a click every time

Mr. Telephone Man
There’s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby’s number
I get a click every time

When I dialed 611 repair service
She said, “Hello, may I help you please?”
I told her somethin’ must be wrong with my phone
‘Cause my baby wouldn’t hang up on me

Mr. Telephone Man
There’s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby’s number
I get a click every time

Mr. Telephone Man
There’s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby’s number

She let the phone ring twenty times before she answered
Let me tell you what happened then
A minute later I got the operator
Saying, “Please hang up and place your call again” baby

Mr. Telephone Man
There’s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby’s number
I get a click every time

Somethin’s wrong with my line

Some strange man is on the telephone [The telephone]
He keeps tellin’ me my baby ain’t home [That she’s not home]
She ain’t got no party line
This situation’s blowin’ my mind
Oh, I just can’t take this anymore

Please operator, see what you can do
I dialed the right number, but I still couldn’t get though
Would you just check the line just one more time if you can
I’m pretty sure my phone wouldn’t be answered by no man

Mr. Telephone Man
There’s something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby’s number
I get a click every time

Mr. Telephone Man
Something’s wrong with my line
I try to dial her number
But I get a click every time

Must be a bad connection
I give her my love and affection (Oh, sugar)
I just can’t take this no more
This situation’s blowin’ my mind
Can’t get my baby on the line [On the line], ooh

I try dialing information [Mr. Telephone man]

Ah, baby, I-I just can’t take it anymore

Help me out
Please Mr. Telephone Man
Help me out

Telephone Song


Woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone,
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish I had you here to hold all I've got is this touch-tone phone,
so I guess I'll give you a call

Operator help me please get thru to my baby way overseas,
time's a wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you I don't know what we're gonna do,
but for now I'm glad I got you on the line

Well it feels so fine knowing you're all right,
but you're miles away Lord it's not the same

Well I woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone,
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might come on home and squeeze me tight,
long distance lovin's gonna drive me out of my mind

So Far Away


Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
You're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just can't see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
And you're so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just can't see
So far away from me

I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See you're been in the sun and I've been in the rain

So far away from me
So far I just can't see
So far away from me
You're so far away from me
